PETALING JAYA: A decision to sacrifice her semester studies paid off for wushu exponent Chai Fong Ying when she became the first Malaysian woman to bag a gold medal in the Asian Championships in Macau.
In the championships, which ended on Sunday, the 22-year-old emerged as the joint champion with Japan's Miyaoka Ai after both earned 9.61 for their performances in women's taijijian (taiji sword).
